Reviews
"Interesting , found by accident while walking round Wirksworth, steep hill climb to the top but worth it for the views alone. Has a viewing platform with an amazing old quarry behind it. Well worth a visit. Believe it lights up in the dark so maybe another visit is on the cards."
"Fantastic place more so if you like looking at stars"
"Brilliant place to visit.ive seen alot of shooting stars here.the drive up is very steep and narrow"
"A great spot to take in the panoramic views. Very atmospheric no matter what the time of day. I can particularly recommend sunset for the great skies and then the lights on the disc turning on. The lights change colour too for a chilled disco effect."
"Nice to visit, but my god the roads to it need to be one way, they are so narrow, it's mad to think they are still 2 way"
